Suicide Prevention, Intervention, Postvention by Earl A. Grollman, 1988
Provides information on suicide statistics and gives advice on how to recognize the warning signs of a potential suicide attempt, how to intervene when a suicide has been attempted, and how to comfort families and friends who have lost a loved one to suicide. This updated and expanded edition contains a discussion of euthanasia and living wills and a list of crisis centers around the United States.
"This piece contains graphic descriptions of trauma and suicide. If you are a veteran in crisis, please call or text 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. You are not alone.
My name is Kris Goldsmith. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, a suicide attempt survivor, and someone who’s spent the last 18 years fighting for the lives of my fellow veterans. What you’re about to read isn’t an academic article—it’s a warning. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when the federal government abandons those who served. I lived it. And now, I’m watching a new administration recreate the very conditions that nearly killed me."
Veteran lays out the potential for deadly impact as the chucklefucks in the Musk/Trump regime continue to degrade the Veterans Administration.

"I have no doubt that Vincent and James both did their share of thinking, which will remain a solace for me. And, yet, no one undertakes suicide unthinkingly."

Lähteissä en huomannut SEP-entryä, joka on hyvä johdatus käsitteeseen, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/suicide/. Viime päivinä näkyy maailmalla kohistun monimutkaisia päätöstilanteita ja nopeaa ja hidasta ajattelua tutkineen Daniel Kahnemanin avustetusta itsesurmasta, vaikka se tapahtui liki vuosi sitten.

I'm thinking that what's happening around this is another aspect of the value system that's given us #RoboDebt, #InstitutionalisedChildAbuse, #ClimateChange, #ScottMorrison, #CovidFreedomMarches, a #HousingCrisis, #DomesticViolence, #DrugAbuse, #Suicide, and entrenched harassment, discrimination and bullying.
#AustralianValues aren't all they're cracked up to be. And are producing fair bit of misery.
Osaka police have arrested three people, including a self-proclaimed spiritual leader and fortune teller, on suspicion of inciting two men to kill themselves five years ago on a beach in Wakayama Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/12/japan/crime-legal/arrests-suicide-inciting/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesepolice #osaka #wakayama #suicide
Good, close-up look at Terrorgram's accelerationist grooming process, using the kid who attacked an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2022 as a kind of case study. (Apparently the authors of this article have been working on a Frontline doc about this stuff that will be out in a couple of weeks.) Worth reading.

And so in August 2019, Juraj Krajčík, then a soft-faced 16-year-old with a dense pile of brown hair, immersed himself in a loose collection of extremist chat groups and channels on the massive social media and messaging platform Telegram. This online community, which was dubbed Terrorgram, had a singular focus: inciting acts of white supremacist terrorism.
Over the next three years, Krajčík made hundreds — possibly thousands — of posts in Terrorgram chats and channels, where a handful of influential content creators steered the conversation toward violence. Day after day, post after post, these influencers cultivated Krajčík, who lived with his family in a comfortable apartment in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. They reinforced his hatreds, fine-tuned his beliefs and fed him tips, encouraging him to attack gay and Jewish people and political leaders and become, in their parlance, a “saint.”
On Oct. 12, 2022, Krajčík, armed with his father’s .45-caliber handgun, opened fire on three people sitting outside an LGBTQ+ bar in Bratislava, killing two and wounding the third before fleeing the scene.
I'm not even sure if the #music industry itself is dangerous - especially as construction and agricultural workers also have high #suicide rates - its more the #precarity of the work and income and that a fun/dream job can just disappear at any moment..

In #Texas, 11 year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, born a US citizen, died by #suicide after chronic #bullying about her parents' supposed #immigration status.
Students claimed her parents were illegals, tormented her with threats to call ICE so they would be deported & she would be left alone.

Children can do terrible, cruel things to each other, often inspired by the adults & environment around them.
It's Texas. Enuff said.
